Other  than the maps, what makes you think that you will need to relocate 
and  what is your prime hazard where you are?

The concept, mainly, of the coastlines disappearing under water for  miles 
and miles - and the old survival instinct. Came the maps, to add fuel  to the 
fire.
 
And then, back in mid-April a bunch of us attended a three-day Homeland  
Security seminar here at the Community Center (yes! they came here!!  to 
Newberry 
Springs). The three instructors informed us that the masterminds of  9-11 had 
been tracked, in retrospect, as havng traveled from L.A., out the I-15  (one 
of our boundaries) to Las Vegas, and thence to New York. Scary. I wanted  
outta 
here. That particular fear has subsided, thank goodness, but remains in  the 
back of my mind.
 
Add all that to the fact that - as you pointed out - all this has been  
underwater before, and it could happen again...and no telling when.
 
Main hazard here would be earthquake. We would be completely cut off. I  
wrote this once before and Gene responded that we shouldn't worry because  
evildoers would be foiled by transportation foul-ups and natural boundaries,  
which 
was comforting, but later I thought - hey! that would leave them all out  
here 
- in our backyard, out of gas and in a bad mood, with no resources and no  
recourse.
 
The End.

Our newly-formed Disaster Council has plans for dividing up the 'area' into  
quadrants - mostly for the purpose of large-animal rescue, and plans are in 
the  works for checking on all the far-flung, remote residents (lots of whom 
are 
 elderly). Many of our 'streets' are unmarked, making it difficult for 
emergency  vehicles. Everyone has been advised to keep a 2-day supply of 
whatever  
medications they need in their freezer, amd labeled, so emergency personnel 
know  what to do.
